Indian Navy is the most advanced Russian-made Kilo-class conventional submarines submarines.

According to the International News Network November 12, 2011 did not report in time as new submarines in service, the Indian submarine fleet is aging, India needs at least 18 conventional submarines in service to deal with Pakistan and China.

it looks nothing surprising, but the Indian Ministry of Defense procurement agencies have long been concerned about this, especially in the face with speeds up demand.

originally planned 10 years service 12 new submarines. To now, there will be six submarines in service, the other six will be in five years service. It is hard to say, because the second batch of six submarines was the manufacturer has not yet been selected. Department of Defense procurement department, said the project will be a faster route, but after a long period of observation, these officials failed to achieve the desired speed.

India under the plan seeks to build the first six submarines have been delayed for some time, the total price of the submarine had risen to 50 billion ($ 834 million per vessel). Although this attempt will be thousands of Indian culture with modern submarine construction experience of workers and specialists, but because the Department of Defense procurement agencies do not realize this, they are not effectively utilized. During the consultations, these officials have to “Scorpene” class diesel-electric submarines has brought a lot of construction delays and cost overruns. Government agencies that deal disposed of improperly, leading to the submarine project was delayed for nearly three years. Project delays and improper disposal

so far has made the project cost has increased by 40 billion dollars. The first “Scorpene” class submarines in service in 2015, delivered a year later, all the delivery date until six.

some of the current situation urgent, because in the next year the Indian fleet of 16 submarines (10 Russian “Kilo” class, two Russian-made “Foxtrot” class, four German-made 209 submarines) will have five retired. After two years, India will be only five submarines to operate correctly.

government agencies and political scientists, but hesitated for nearly 10 years, until 2005 India was signed from the purchase of six French “Scorpene” class submarines agreement. This delay led France to raise the prices of some key components, the Indian submarine in the procurement process there have been many problems. The first ship “鮋 fish” class submarines built in France, the other five built in India. Although some of the problems arise is the expected thing, but when the submarine extension of the work there or just in construction, the Department of Defense procurement agencies never stopped surprising.

“Scorpene” class submarines, like Pakistan, recently purchased from France, “Agosta 90B” class submarines. The first ship, “Agosta 90B” class submarine built by the French, the other two are built in Pakistan. India to buy “Scorpene” class submarines to Pakistan was seen as “Agosta 90B” class submarines response. “Scorpene” class submarine is the latest design, the French and Spanish submarine designer masterpiece together. “Agosta 90B” class submarines are diesel-electric submarines, surface displacement of 1,500 tons, crew 36, 4 21 inches 533mm torpedo tubes, carrying 20 torpedoes or missiles. “Scorpene” class submarines than “Agosta 90B” class submarines larger displacement, the crew less, faster, which has six 533mm torpedo tubes, carrying 18 torpedoes and missiles. Two types of submarines equipped with AIP systems can. AIP system enables submarines to stay underwater longer, making the submarine more difficult to detect. AIP submarine in the water system can make 5-10 knots with a continuous voyage one week’s time. Pakistan can choose two of its current “Agosta 90B” class submarines to install AIP system.

India, Pakistan Navy is very concerned about trends very quickly signed the “Scorpene” class submarines contracts, China has also been seen as its main rival. Lack of advanced technology and well-trained crew, the submarine as Chinese submarine Pakistan effectively. India can use their “Scorpene” class submarines directly against any attempt to increase the military presence in the Indian Ocean to enter the Chinese submarine. “Scorpene” class submarines of the delays and cost overruns in India caused a lot of comments. However, according to India’s current progress in all six “Scorpene” class submarines in service period of ten years has been to before. By then, India will have 12 submarines (including submarine under construction). China will have 60 submarines, of which 20% are nuclear submarines. (China Shipping Information Center Su Qiang)
